Commercial Description:
Big Wave is a light golden ale with a subtle fruitiness and delicate hop aroma. A smooth, easy drinking refreshing ale. The lightly roasted honey malt contributes to the golden hue of this beer and also gives a slight sweetness that is balanced out by our special blend of hops.

12 oz from the GF’s fam. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is yeasty, pretty sweet, light citrus and other fruit. Light red apple flavor, mild alc, yeasty, a little off though. Medium bodied and good carb though chalky. Okay.

Had this on draft in Hawaii. There was every reason to enjoy it with the location and view, but the aroma was a bit metallic and skunky and so was the taste. Much thinner than anticipated. I enjoyed this brewery’s Longboard Lager more.

A decent golden ale. Very light, slightly hoppy, with a tad bit of citrus.

poured a nice golden color with a light malt scent. Very smooth and well balanced on the palate. If I ever go to Hawaii I’ll definitely be having some of this.

12 oz bottle enjoyed in beautiful Hawaii. Part of a mixed six pack. Poured a pale yellow with lots of bubbles. Tastes of mild hops. Some citrus but not much.

This beer is like a light pale ale. Easy to drink. Light bitterness and hoppy flavors underneath. Mild but refreshing.

12 oz bottle in Hawaii. Thin aromas were mostly bready with some sweetness. Flavors were similar with an awkard bitterness that wasn’t from any quantity of hops. Not great.

Thin, watery, taste of some corn or other non-malt products here. Just not very good.
